Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, a leader of Al Qaeda and suspected mastermind of the USS Cole attack, has been captured.

He is the highest-ranking al-Qaida operative captured since the CIA, FBI and Pakistani authorities captured bin Laden's operations chief, Abu Zubaydah, in Faisalabad, Pakistan, in March.

They say he's talking, too.

On top of his whining about the evil right-wing talk radio, Tom Daschle is looking more foolish, and irrelevant, every day.

I'm wondering if what's happening to Democrats currently is akin to a general's reaction, or lack thereof, to surging death tolls in a war resulting from unforseen technological improvements in weaponry? I see how the Democrats are reacting to the 2002 elections, and I see how the British and French fought World War 1. "The Germans are cutting up our forces to shreds. Send more troops through!" What am I missing?
